MODULAR CURRENT LOOP ADAPTER
The Modular Current Loop Adapter connects current-loop equipment such as
industrial controllers and Data General computers to RS-232 equipment such as
modems, multiplexors, computers and terminals. The unit is a “passive” device:
this means it does not provide current for the current loop. The “passive” adapter
must connect to an “active” current-loop device. The “active” device provides the
20-mA current for the loop. (There can be only one active device in the current
loop.) The RS-232 interface of the attached equipment must provide a +12 voltage
on either pin 6 or pin 20 to power the adapter.

ONFIGURATION
The adapter connects easily to an RS-232 device such as a DTE (terminal,
computer) or DCE (modem, line driver, multiplexor).
The attached RS-232 device supplies power to the adapter via a positive (+12)
voltage on the adapter’s pin 20 (if the unit is configured as DCE) or pin 6 (if the
unit is configured as DTE). Pinnings for both configurations are shown below.
DTE DCE
Pin 2 = TD (output) Pin 2 = TD (input)
Pin 3 = RD (input) Pin 3 = RD (output)
Pin 6 = DSR (input) Pin 20 = DTR (input)
Pin 7 = Signal Ground Pin 7 = Signal Ground
To configure the adapter, simply move the external switch to the DTE or DCE
position. If you are going to plug the adapter into a DTE, move the adapter switch
to the DCE position. If you are going to plug the adapter into a DCE, move the
adapter switch to the DTE position.

EVICE
To connect the adapter to the RS-232 device, simply plug the unit’s DB25
connector into your RS-232 equipment’s DB25 connector. (The unit is available in
both male and female versions to accommodate your equipment.)

3.2 Current-Loop Interface
Review the following pinning guidelines before you connect the twisted-pair cable
from your current-loop device to the adapter’s RJ-11 port or four-position screw
terminal. Figure 3-1 shows the pin positions for both connectors.
Figure 3-1. Pin Positions for RJ-11 and Terminal Screw Block.
Connections on the current-loop side of the adapter may be full- or half-duplex. In
full-duplex transmission, both the adapter and the current-loop device may send
and receive data simultaneously. In half-duplex transmission, only one device at a
time may send or receive data. Section 3.2.1 describes full-duplex connections and
Section 3.2.2 discusses half-duplex connections.

RJ-11 Modular Pinnings:

2 = TX-, connect to the RX- of your device.
3 = TX+, connect to the RX+of your device.
4 = RX-, connect to the TX- of your device.
Terminal Block Pinnings:
1 = TX+, connect to the RX+ of your device.
2 = TX-, connect to the RX- of your device.
3 = RX+, connect to the TX+ of your device.
4 = RX-, connect to the TX- of your device.
Typical full-duplex applications for the adapter are shown in Figures 3-2 and 3-3. In
Figure 3-2, the unit is connected to a DTE device. In Figure 3-3, the unit is
connected to a DCE device.
NOTE
When connected to a DTE device, the adapter does not output pins 5
(CTS), 6 (DSR), or 8 (CD). If your computer (DTE) needs these pins
before it can send data, you must use a short cable with the proper pin
configuration between the computer and the unit. This entails looping
pin 4 (RTS) or any other signal at 12 volts to pins 5, 6, and 8 on the side
connected to the computer.
When connected to a DCE device, the adapter does not output pins 4
(RTS) or 20 (DTR), which your modem may need before it can send data.
If your modem needs these pins, you must use a short cable with the
proper pin configuration between the modem and the unit. This involves
looping pin 8 (CD) or any other signal on the interface that is at +12 V to
pins 4 and 20 on the side connected to the modem.

*Half-duplex operation is not recommended for RJ-11 connections due to the
difficulty involved in crossing Jumpers 2 and 3.
Typical half-duplex applications for the adapter are shown in Figures 3-4 and 3-5.
In Figure 3-4, the unit is connected to a DTE device. In Figure 3-5, the unit is
connected to a DCE device.
